7. POINT OF VIEW ( DARCY ) The point of view is Darcy. Darcy as the point of view explains what is going on in the story from when her brother dies to where she find the boy with her brothers heart. If the author choose Sam to be the point of view there wouldn’t be a lot of explanation.

8.  I picture of a sad girl because it represent Darcy because she is sad through out the whole story.
